Package: gedit-common Version: 2.8.2-1 Severity: normal According to Policy, section 5.2, a debian package that is architecture-independent (thus, one that has 'Architecture: all' set in the debian/control file) should be built as a dependant of the binary-indep target of the debian/rules file.
The gedit package does not; not only is this against policy, it is also a nuisance for those of us who maintain autobuilders: autobuilders invoke 'dpkg-buildpackage -B' to avoid binary-indep packages to be built, which results in a .changes that does not mention the _all.deb files. As a result, they aren't automatically cleaned either, so must be manually removed. Of course, they're also a waste of precious CPU time. Please modify your debian/rules file to not build Architecture: all packages as a dependency of the binary-indep target. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages gedit-common depends on: ii gedit 2.8.2-1 light-weight text editor -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
